In addition to attracting fans, One Direction has raked in a lot of dough. The group made history last year when it became the first British act to have its debut album (2011's "Up All Night") enter the top spot on the U.S. Billboard chart. The band's follow-up album, 2012's "Take Me Home," saw similar success.

One Direction gained notoriety in 2010 after appearing on "The X-Factor," finishing third in the seventh series of the British TV singing competition. The band subsequently signed in North America with Columbia Records.
